LAFC fans doing us proud. Usually this section is non-stop drumming and chants. Tonight it is silent.

That was wild. A 2-1 win for the Current at Gotham. They continue to outpace the rest of the pack at the top of the table. #KCBaby

Michelle Cooper grabbed at the back of her leg after making the far post crashing run. She seems alright jogging now.

I understand this but she makes no attempt at that ball, a player is making a crashing back post run so Wheeler still needs to clear. And it's a deliberate headed clearance so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am....very confused. That seemed like a good goal.

Some players can take on 3 defenders and you scream WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?! Temwa Chawinga can do it and you think "Yeah she can get through them."

Again, VAR gets it right. No pen.

What on earth would Sharples be able to do to get out of the way of that? Her arm is actually moving behind her back to get out of the way.

Pretty clear foul from Sonnett on that corner. VAR and Chesky quickly getting that right.

Sonnett was late, never had a chance at getting ball. Not sure why she complained. On the other end the Current had a valid complaint for the shove on Ellie Wheeler in the box.

Danielle Chesky being a tyrant towards Bia. That was borderline petty while telling Bia to have respect for her.

Yes

Kinda funny how the moment the torrential downpour ended in KC, it picked up in Jersey.

Michelle Cooper with a fast start against Gotham again! 1-0 to the Current EARLY.

As for tomorrow's opponent for the Current...#KCBaby

Lo LaBonta will be out tomorrow, per the KC Current injury report. She seems to have picked up a knee injury. Nichelle Prince also out. Everyone else is good to go, at least those not already diagnosed as long term. #KCBaby

The KC Current are on the road. Again. 6 of the last 8 have been road contests racking up nearly 13k air miles the last month and a half. Saturday will be another tough test. #KCBaby www.kansascity.com/sports/socce...

INBOX: The Kansas City Current are hosting a summer tournament while the #NWSL breaks in July. The Teal Rising Cup brings two premier Brazilian clubs (fierce rivals I may add), in Palmeiras and Corinthians. The Chicago Stars will round out that 4 team tourney. #KCBaby

From a while back absoluteunit.substack.com/p/what-conti...

Robert Voloder broke his collar bone. Unfortunate as he was really flying. Having surgery today. #SportingKC

We just had one of the most useless VAR reviews I have ever seen in Kansas City. Stunned that the referee was asked to review that.

Kayla Sharples pushes the KC Current lead back to two goals. It's 3-1 for the Current. Shea Groom helped Chicago score to make it 2-1 and lazily keeps everyone onside for the Current. #KCBaby

Shea Groom gets one back on Kansas City. It's 2-1 in the second half. Red Stars trying to get back into this one. #KCBaby #NWSL

The Current are cooking. Nice to see the Temwa/Bia connection returning. Bia's false 9 work will help in the absence of Debinha when it comes to central playmaking. #KCBaby

Bia Zaneratto! 1-0 KC Current in Chicago.

Temwa Chawinga died her hair Red (shh I know it's closer to hot pink) to acknowledge that Chicago should've stayed the Red Stars.

KC Current injury report for tomorrow: Temwa Questionable. Cook and Deb out. Lone surprise is an illness to Bayley Feist. Thin in the midfield a bit tomorrow.

Seattle struggling with early cross to near post and a second runner. Reign look feeble defensively.

Gadi Kinda's four years in KC clearly had an impact on Sporting KC. It was an emotional day at the complex today. And it'll be emotional tomorrow when they plan to honor him. Here's everything from today: www.kansascity.com/sports/socce...

Salloi said they wanted to honor Gadi the right way tomorrow. There will be a moment of silence and video content they helped put together for the video board. "I hope his family can see it one day. I hope it puts a smile on their face how much Gadi meant to this organization." #SportingKC

An emotionally raw morning with Sporting KC. Daniel Salloi and Erik Thommy both spoke. Salloi talked about the impact Gadi had on him and his teammates. Said it's been a heavy week. Thommy broke down in tears, said it's been the hardest week of his career. Both said the team is playing for Gadi.

Vlatko says Debinha will be out "a couple months" and that she'll come back when she's ready. #KCBaby

Vlatko says it was really emotional when they got the results back from Alana Cook's scans. #KCBaby

The Kansas City Current are placing Alana Cook on SEI. Torn ACL, MCL, and Meniscus. Brutal. Did not have that info at time of publishing and will update story accordingly. #KCBaby

And, the KC Current injury prognosis isn't great. Still no concrete updates on Alana Cook as of publishing, but one would figure she's out a while. As will Debinha and Temwa. On a costly win in Orlando www.kansascity.com/sports/socce...

Lo LaBonta exemplifies Kansas City soccer so, so well. After 10 years of a career she had to fight for at times, she's representing the #USWNT. www.kansascity.com/sports/socce...

That Markanich guy seems like a player St. Louis could use these days.
